Composition

"Composition" exemplifies Lyrical abstraction, a post-war Modernist movement that emerged from European and American trends. Originating in Paris and characterized by characteristic Abstract forms and expressive brushwork, European Abstraction Lyrique, credited to critic Jean José Marchand in 1947, emphasizes lyrical and emotional qualities. Meanwhile, the American variant, identified by Larry Aldrich in 1969, shares similar goals of conveying mood and spontaneity. This painting likely reflects these influences through its dynamic composition and vivid colors, capturing the essence of Lyrical abstraction as a movement that prioritizes personal expression and abstracted forms.
